Abstract

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus is also rising. Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that necessitates a lengthy recovery period and expensive treatment. People with diabetes mellitus may be more susceptible to stress because they must alter their lifestyles to keep their blood sugar levels controlled. Diabetes Mellitus and stress are closely related conditions, particularly among metropolitan dwellers. Stress might make it difficult for persons with diabetes mellitus to control their blood sugar levels. The goal of the study was to ascertain how stress levels and blood sugar levels in those with diabetes mellitus relate to one another. Utilizing a simple random selection procedure, a sample of 45 respondents with diabetes mellitus from the RW 7 Simokerto Village, Simkerto District, Surabaya, were selected for this study using an observational analytical method using a cross sectional approach. a questionnaire for measuring stress levels. Blood sugar levels were measured using a glucometer through random observations. Data were analyzed using Spearman Rho correlation test. Spearman rank correlation test results obtained p = 0.00 and r = 0.909. This demonstrates a very strong positive association between stress levels and blood sugar levels and suggests that there is a relationship between stress levels and blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes mellitus (H0 refused, H1 approved). Blood sugar levels in the normal range (80-140 mg/dL) were present in the vast majority of responders with stress levels in the non-stress group (score 0–3). The importance of blood sugar levels increases with increasing degrees of stress. Researchers should look into additional variables that may alter blood sugar levels and analyze stress behavior to ensure the findings are more reliable.
